I want to thank everyone who has participated in this RawFoodTalk.com forum. There have been some amazing exchanges here and so many words of wisdom spoken. But its time for me to close this board. I am moving on to new ventures and feel that its time for me to let this go. A forum of this size takes loads of money, time and energy. I have not been keeping up with the forum upgrades, the spam problems, etc…. which is resulting in many disgruntled emails and people calling the office daily. I’m sorry to disappoint the many of you who have spent your time and wonderful words of help and inspiration here. I hope that you have all benefited from this board and that it has helped you on your path to optimal health. I know many of you have made lasting friendships here as well. I will leave this board up for a month of so, so that you may copy what you need and any information you would like to save.

Thank you for being part of the RawFoodTalk.com community! It’s been a wonderful ride! I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next for all of you and of course, you can keep up with my adventures through my blog, Facebook and twitter. I am continuing my certification trainings and there will be some exciting new classes, events and projects coming into fruition in the near future!

All my best,
Alissa

Yesterday at the farmer's market I picked up some DELICIOUS nectarines. I can't believe I had FIVE for breakfast today. I started with just 3 but then went back for 2 more about an hour later.

For the past 3 days I've been eating a TON of spinach dip. I think I could live off of that stuff sometimes. The first time I made it I used Alissa's recipe to the TEE. It was good but I'm never one to stick to recipes after I've made it the first time. I've messed around with this recipe a lot and this is my favorite of them all.

Spinach Dip
4 C. baby spinach
1 avocado, pitted
1 Tb. white miso
juice from 1/8 - 1/4 lemon (maybe 1 Tb. total)
dash garlic powder
dash onion salt
dash black pepper
no more than 1/4 C. water

Fill the BlendTec with spinach to the 4 C. mark. Add avocado, miso, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion salt and pepper.
Pour in about 1/8 C. water.
Pulse until blended but still with some texture to the spinach. Drizzle in more water as needed. You'll definitely have to stop and scrape down the sides as you go.

I like to just dip vegetables in this (celery & bell peppers are my favorites) or use it as a sandwich spread on dehydrated bread or tortillas.

Exercise
45 min. rebounder
60 min. exercycle

Food
5 nectarines
spinach dip w/celery, tomato & yellow pepper boats for dipping

I'm going to try it!! Maybe tomorrow for lunch. I already used my today's avocado in cabbage vegetable wraps for my two girls and me. I am glad they are eating healthier with me, but I'll need to adjust my groceries accordingly. Sure beats the McDonald's meals I would probably have bought them in the past, though!

Thanks for posting!

So I'm in the market for a new blender. I've had my current Vitamix for 25 years, and have always loved it. Now I'm hearing about the BlendTec. Could you tell me how you like it and if you can compare to Vitamix?
